Customer Ratings & Reviews

While the functionality is the same, this is a worthwhile upgrade simply because of the improved sound quality over the previous version Echo Dot. The unit is not much larger, but it feels more solid and the sound is 10 times better. It doesn't sound "tinny" like the previous model and even has an ok amount of "bass" for a speaker this size. The only change I don't like is that the 3rd Gen Dot uses its own proprietary AC Adapter instead of using a USB cable like the previous version.

My girlfriend loves it.! She wants them for the kids. I like using it mainly for weather information and music. I also use it for an alarm. I was surprised that it plays music when waking me up.

I use the Echo Dot basically for listening to music and a few basic things, alarms, weather, etc. The only issue I’ve had is when I try to connect to my Sirius/XM, it immediately drops the boardcast after a few minutes. I also have Siri, and have no problem with it using my Sirius/XM. Want to learn how to control the lights. Not as easy as they say.

There third verison of the dot does sound a litter nicer than the previous generation. It looks a little sleeker as well. These are nice beside the bed as alarm clocks, voice assistanst, and a little music as well.

I didn't know how easy it would be to set up this device. I was wondering what it would do. I bought a light bulb and now - I don't have to get out of bed to turn the light off. Sometimes, I do believe Alexa is hard of hearing me. Still - I am enjoying talking with Alexa

Love it, great sound and small compact design! definitely a great alternative to the bigger device

this is a great item for rooms in house we ask and get quick responds. also works to power electrical devices.

Best Alexa speaker, I recommend this product, easy to use and easy to setup

The Generation 3 has a vastly improved speaker. It is easy to set up and it looks much nicer than previous generations.

Amazon's 3rd gen echo dot is a terrific tool if your home is equipped with an array of Alexa supported devices. Practical device for so many different applications. Mundane daily questions such as what's the weather for today, set timer for xx minutes (great for cooking), play my playlist, and endless other trivial knowledge you would want to know.

Easy set up. Portable. Small unit with a big sound. It made for a great Christmas present!

Best smart speaker for the price, really convenient for smart homes.

Easy to use and nicer looking than Gen 2 Echo Dot. Better quality sound in speaker, too! Highly recommend!

I like the Alexa. It’s easy to use and speaks great. I just don’t like that I have to repeat my saying when I request some music artists. Alexa is fun to use when you pay for extra trivia, games and quizzes. Great item.

The sound on this echo dot is WAY better than the 2nd generation. It pumps up really loud and easier to hear too!

Echo dot has great power for such a little device! Nice and compact as well!

Great new toy for the family. Easy to use,and great for listen to music. If you need better sound hook it up to Sonos.

I have had the previous 2 Amazon Echo versions. 3rd generation device is more sleeker with improved functionality.

Installing the Echo Dot was easy. In fact, it pretty much installed itself. I just had to get it set up on my WIFI, then Alexa took over. I got an Echo Plus for Christmas, and now I’ve added 6 Echo Dots. The Echo Dot does almost everything the Echo Plus does. We installed one at our vacation home and can control the lights from our home, using Alexa. If we are at our vacation home, we can turn lights on & off at our home, giving the impression someone is there. Love it!

Love it easy to use easy to install and great for when your cleaning wanting to listen to music
